enMy First Debian Bug Squashing Partyhttp://hermann-uwe.de/blog/my-first-debian-bug-squashing-party
<p>I participated in my first Debian <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/08/msg00000.html">Bug Squashing Party</a> (BSP) this weekend (August, 5th - 7th). The goal of such (real or virtual) "parties" is to reduce the number of <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/">release-critical bugs</a> in Debian. For more details, see <a href="http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/rc-bugsquashing.html">Squashing Release-Critical Bugs in Debian: A Primer</a>.</p>
<p>I fixed a few simple FTBFS (Fails To Build From Source) bugs (mostly by applying existing patches from the <a href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/">BTS</a>) in <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/games/xlife">xlife</a>, <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/mmv">mmv</a>, <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/xcal">xcal</a>, and <a href="http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/dansguardian">dansguardian</a> (I messed up a bit with dansguardian, sorry).</p>
<p>It was mostly a lot of fun, and I can now proudly proclaim that I helped to get out the next stable release faster ;-)</p>
